ASWARM OF CUTTHROATS
THEY URGE BLoODSHED TO STOP
THE CHICAGO HANGINGS.

Herr Most Demands Human Life for
Every Drop of Blood in the Bodies of
the Anarchists if They are Hung
An Incendiary Proclamation
New YORK, Sept. 19.-Cooper Union
was packed tonight with such crowd of
Anarchists and Socialists az the famous
meeting room never before contained. The
audience numbered full $500 and assem-
bled to protest against the hanging of
the condemned Chicago Anarchists. Ushers
wearing red ribbons ON their breasts handed
every person who entered the hall copy of
the proclamation, from which the following
are extracts:
American workers, will you suffer this
outrage to be flung in your faces Win you
remain silent and allow that so-called JUS
tice shall be defiled in so bloody manner
a dastardly deed alleged to be
sanctioned by the will of the people. 1t
must never be. Arise in your imposing
might and let yeur righteous wrath fall in
an unmistakable protest upon the heads of
those interpreters of the law who have
basely betrayed their trust.
The ''crime" for which the seven men in
Chicago are to be hanged is purely devotion
to highland noble aspirations.
The beasts of capital want blood. Their
hirelings have shown themselves ready to
seize the best and nobleSt from the ranks of
the people and render them up to their
SenSeleSs rage.
Workmen will you remain quiet while
those striving for your people, identical
with all the yearnings of mankind, are
sacrificed and trampled under foot in the
persons of your comrades. You know
what is your duty Those condemned men
are suffering because they loved mankind
better than themselves, because they wrote
and preached to you and for you the gospel
of the future. Now you must demonstrate
your solidity-the strength of your organi-
zation Gather together, summon our
comrades from every side and proclaim our
opinions in such way that no doubt
can remain of their character. The
workingmen of America must show that
their sense of justice, and their hatred of
tyranny in this shameless form has not been
destroyed. IL YOU wish to do so you can
prevent the consunmation on Nov. IL of
this horrible deed to which the deeds of
cannibals are as nothing
We demand that every man does his
duty, and that you say to this rabble of
thieves and murderers which rule you,
"Thus far, and no farther
Indignation meetings must be called and
held as quickly as possible
Above all it is necessary that the inter
prefers Of the constitution at Washington
be spurred to pass upon this judicial muir
der proposed at Chicago.
The judgment of blood is not yet ex-
ecuted. Let every man do his duty and it
never will be.
FIFTY POLICE ON HAND.
The Anarchist gathering brought out a
detachment of police. There were fifty

When the notes of the Marseilliase was
struck by the band, prolonged and wild
cheer followed.
Pictures of doomed martyrs of the red
flag looked down from the front of the plat
form. They were draped with red and
black and wreathed with smilax. A black
and red banner stood in the rear of the
stage.
On the platform were Herr Most, Walter
Vroanan, Col. Richard Hinton of the
Leader, Mrs Black, Mrs. Brandesch, and
200 others.
MosT's INCENDIARY HARANGUE.
Herr Most was the chief speaker During
his speech he said ''Do they think we are
going to remain quiet and allow our friends
to die an ignominious death. You cannot
allow that hanging to take
place. Arm yourselves, and for
every drop of blood that
is shed from our friends, let it cost human
life, | am not alone an Anarchist,
but also a revolutionist. Capitalists
shall be the first to suffer No
one shall escape his just dues. The twelve
jurors, judges and detective spies will not
sleep very soundly at present. Let them
beware. wild yells and cheers from the
crowd As Anarchists we have no respect
for these laws by which our brothers die
As revoutionistS we are fearless. The time
is approaching when we will be forced to
use firearms"
After Most had concluded his speech
Editor Shevitch, of the Leader made an adj
dress, and then Mrs. Brandesch and Col
Hinton followed. The meeting was ended
